Descripción del empleo

PX Resources is partnering exclusively with an ASX-listed infrastructure services business to appoint a Head of Internal Audit.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Senior Internal Audit Manager who is ready to step into a Head of role and take genuine ownership of an enterprise-wide audit program. It could also suit a hands-on Head of Internal Audit from a smaller function who wants broader operational exposure.

Please note: This is not a large-team oversight role. This is an execution role so the successful candidate will enjoy being hands on, executing audits and working directly with the business to get outcomes.

The Opportunity

• Own and continuously improve the risk-based Internal Audit strategy, framework and annual audit plan.


• Lead execution of audits end-to-end, from scoping and fieldwork through to reporting and remediation follow-up.


• Lead and develop one Internal Auditor (team member) and coordinate specialist work through co-source partners.


• Work closely with senior leaders across a complex national operating business and provide clear, practical assurance and advice.


• Prepare reporting and insights for executive leadership and the Audit & Risk Committee.


• Help mature assurance mapping, controls and governance across the organisation.


• Use technology and contemporary audit practices to improve the efficiency and impact of the function.

Candidate Profile

• 7-10+ years across internal audit, risk or assurance in a complex organisation and/or professional services environment.


• Exposure to utilities, infrastructure, energy or telco sectors highly regarded


• Experience developing and delivering risk-based internal audit plans.


• Genuinely comfortable in a hands on environment, running audits personally and translating findings into practical, commercially sensible recommendations - once again, this is an execution role not an oversight role


• Experience engaging senior executives and preparing or presenting reporting for Audit & Risk Committees or similar forums.


• Strong stakeholder management and EQ - able to challenge constructively without becoming overly rigid or theoretical.


• Relevant qualifications such as CA, CPA, CIA, CISA or similar professional qualifications

Why consider it?

• Real ownership of the audit program, strategy, planning and execution


• Genuine opportunity to shape how the function operates


• Broad exposure across a large ASX-listed operating business rather than a narrow audit portfolio


• Leadership responsibility plus some co-source support, while remaining hands-on.


• Strong business engagement with continued growth, new long-term contracts and expansion into adjacent markets.
